Interconnects
Computer network at home
In more basic, internet connection at home means the modem - router, a computer and a printer. In general, the connection of devices is done through cables (Ethernet or USB) which have the advantage of be secure point view intrusion.
Achieve its computer network
A laptop can join the network with Wi-Fi and print wireless becomes possible provided that the first computer remains online.
Do not forget to secure the Wi-Fi connection with WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption. If WPA is accepted by all Wi-Fi devices, do not hesitate.
If for any reasons Ethernet or Wi-Fi wiring is not appropriate, may be considered the implementation of part of the network by PLC (Power Line Carrier).
With throughput (theoretic) up to 500 Mbit, past PLC adapters allows to extend its network to claim problems with cables (holes in the walls, apparent cables, etc.).
The integration of a print server in its computer network can print to the printer shared without a permanent computer standing on.
So other than energy savings, it makes less vulnerable computers to a computer network, by the fact of not having 24/24 online.
Multimedia hard disk integrated into the home network, enables sharing of content on all computers on the network while keeping the place near the TV.
